Nxtdave not as you might think! for the first few years I did not use any plugins, and even now I only use a few to make life quicker, but the outcome is still the same, nothing you see here needs plugins, I do spend more time on research than on modeling however since I need to have a basic understanding of every items function before modeling it.
You are the second one in the past week to enlighten me about the use of plugins. I obviously do not/have not spent enough time learning how to use the basic tools. I admire people who have skills like you guys.

Bridge wing console complete, think im going to give the cranes a revamp after finding some really good sources!
-
Cranes get a few more details, and ive implemented a few more of the classic maersk colours, mainly the Ivory, splitting the colour groups to work for 10 different liveries is going to be a challenge, especially with custom made textures like the watertight doors
-
Have this huge bruise on my chin from my jaw hitting the floor.
-
Haha thanks Bryan, ill have to slow down the pace to give you time to recover!
Slow and steady progress, most of what you see here is done by hand using alpha brushes, trying to keep the weathering in check, easy to get carried away with it!
-
I think you nailed the weathering. No too much, not too little.
-
Bryan is right, the Goldilocks measure mate.
-
Thanks, I keep doubting it though, but will have to evaluate when its all complete, progress so far :
-
Top notch work!
-
This one h*** of a model.
-
Thanks guys, 2/10 Livery`s complete, of course MSC
-
This is just an unrealistic model.
-
SPot on, a master indeed.
-
Truly amazing work
-
Livery looks amazing!
-
Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments!
Containers are complete, I tried a absolute fully loaded setup, which looked somewhat unrealistic, so I followed a typical layout from reference images, each texture was rendered individually from a custom made container, which ended up being 93 renders! the containers will not be full pbr, it will only have diffuse and AO maps
Now that the exterior is complete, I am going to move on to the bridge
-
a masterpiece! and in every respect a class of its own in my opinion -
Wait. What? There's more to come?!
-
If the rest of the sim is this good, I might have to at least have a look at the demo.
-
Thanks guys, Mike there`s a alpha ( https://navismaster.com/ ) cant wait to get this ship in there!
Fitting out of the bridge is in full swing, still blocking out, made a few props here and there. There`s a whole office and kitchen of props to complete, oh and all the ships instruments and labels.
